Alumni spell out TU on the university's football field

It has been an incredible month at Towson University as we welcomed students back to campus and began the 2024-25 academic year.

This fall, nearly 5,300 new Tigers joined our university. As I approach my one-year anniversary as TU’s president, I can tell these newcomers from first-hand experience: joining this exceptional community is one of the best decisions you will ever make.

Our incoming students include more than 3,000 freshmen who have just begun their higher education journey, selected from a record-breaking 20,000+ undergraduate applicants. We’ve also welcomed 1,300 transfer students, continuing TU’s reputation as one of the most-desired transfer locations in the state. And our graduate student enrollment welcomed 1,000 new scholars who are looking to excel in their respective disciplines.

In all, 19,000 students are set to experience the transformative education for which TU is so widely known. As we now wrap the first week of classes—one that has been full of energy and excitement—and look to the future, I am confident that this will be another historically successful year for the entire Towson University community.

Sincerely,

Mark R. Ginsberg, Ph.D.
President
